Apply shared parameters to one-line?

[Brian-SE]

Can I apply shared parameters to the one-line that LayoutFAST generates with its one-line generator feature?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

The end user can apply whatever Shared Parameters they want to the automated diagrams that LayoutFAST can produce.  If they set up their project template in a way that the shared parameters are project parameters, they could be applied automatically as the diagram is created.  But that is done on the user side of things, not by LayoutFAST.

Just a note about shared parameters: 

When it comes to Shared Parameters, you will not be able to output anything by default that is in line with a company's Shared Parameters unless you are using their Shared Parameters.

This wouldn't make any sense for LayoutFAST to do because each and every user could have a different set of parameters and you don't want to be tied to just one option.  So the best LayoutFAST can offer is to allow end users to apply their own, which LayoutFAST currently does.

We hope this helps and provides some additional context.  Thanks again, Brian!
